Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fertilizer composition for plant cultivation and a method for producing the same, and can be used in the agricultural field and the like.

Background Art

[0002] Seaweeds are rich in various minerals, vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, and proteins, and contain many polysaccharides in which carboxyl groups and sulfate groups with high binding ability to cations are bonded. Therefore, they are known to have physiological activities such as the effect of discharging harmful heavy metals, the effect of regulating the intestine, the effect of improving constipation, the antioxidant effect, and the effect of enhancing sugar tolerance, and are utilized as foods, animal feeds, cosmetic materials, and the like.

[0003] On the other hand, in the agricultural field, the production of plants has been increased by the spread of hydroponics technology. However, due to the acidification of the soil caused by the use of chemical fertilizers, the degradation of the soil due to the disappearance of organic matter, and the use of a large amount of chemical fertilizers, side effects such as the inhibition of plant growth have occurred. In addition, the sugar content in fruit trees is an important factor in the quality of products, but it is a difficult-to-regulate attribute because it is greatly affected by irregular weather such as the amount of sunlight, precipitation, and daily temperature difference. At present, the development of fertilizers for improving sugar content is necessary.

[0004] Therefore, in the present invention, as a result of intensive research to develop a fertilizer using seaweeds, which are natural materials, the inventors have succeeded in developing a fertilizer composition that can effectively increase the yield of plants and the sugar content of fruits using akamoku, anaaosa, and bamboo leaves, and completed the present invention.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

[0018] The present invention relates to a fertilizer composition for plant cultivation containing a fermentation broth of akamoku, anaaosa, and bamboo leaves.

[0019] The fermentation broth means a liquid containing components released and extracted from materials as they ferment when the materials are fermented. Since the fermentation broth is in a liquid state, it is useful for fertilizing plants and has rapid absorption. The solvent or dispersion medium may be, for example, water.

[0020] The fermentation can be carried out by any commonly used fermentation method without limiting the method or conditions. For example, the fermentation temperature may be 0°C to 40°C, specifically, 5°C to 40°C, 5°C to 30°C, 5°C to 25°C, 5°C to 20°C, 10°C to 30°C, 10°C to 25°C, 10°C to 20°C, 25°C to 40°C, 30°C to 35°C. The fermentation period may be 1 day or longer, specifically, 2 days or longer, 3 days or longer, 5 days or longer, 7 days or longer, 10 days or longer, etc., and the upper limit may be, for example, 30 days, 25 days, 20 days, 18 days, 15 days, etc.

[0021] The fermentation can be carried out, for example, in a fermentation tank. The types of enzymes used in the fermentation, strains containing the enzymes, microorganisms, etc. are not particularly limited as long as the fermentation of seaweeds is possible. For example, strains belonging to the genera Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus can be used. Specifically, as aerobic strains, Micrococcus lactis, Lactobacillus acidolactis, Lactobacillus licheniformis, Lactobacillus amyloliquefaciens, or Lactobacillus subtilis can be used. As anaerobic strains, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, or Lactobacillus brevis can be used.

[0022] The fermentation may be carried out for and mixed with each of Akamoku, Anaaoza, and Sasa leaves, or may be carried out simultaneously.

[0023] Akamoku, Anaaoza, and Sasa leaves are a type of seaweed rich in various minerals, vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.

[0024] By including a combination of the fermentation liquids of akamoku, ana-aosa, and bamboo leaves, the composition can be used as an effective fertilizer for plant cultivation. For example, since the fermentation liquid is rich in minerals such as K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn, it can supplement nutrients to plants.

[0025] In addition, by promoting or suppressing specific physiological activities in plants by the components of the fermentation liquid, the growth of plants can be promoted or the nutrition of fruit trees can be enhanced.

[0026] Also, the fermentation liquid has the effect of improving the sugar content of fruit trees and can be used for enhancing fruit trees.

[0027] The growth can be confirmed from the increase in the mass or volume of the whole plant or parts such as stems and fruits, but is not limited thereto.

[0028] In addition, the fermentation liquid can have the effect of preventing plant diseases and pests.

[0029] The ratios of akamoku, ana-aosa, and bamboo leaves are not particularly limited. For example, the fermentation liquid may be obtained by adding 50 to 150 parts by weight of ana-aosa and 10 to 50 parts by weight of bamboo leaves to 100 parts by weight of akamoku and fermenting. Specifically, it may be 70 to 130 parts by weight of ana-aosa and 20 to 40 parts by weight of bamboo leaves with respect to 100 parts by weight of akamoku.

[0030] In addition, the fermentation can be carried out by further adding water and / or sugar. The water and sugar may be 50 to 200 parts by weight of water, 50 to 175 parts by weight of sugar, or 80 to 150 parts by weight of water, 80 to 150 parts by weight of sugar with respect to 100 parts by weight of akamoku.

[0031] The cultivation generally refers to the process of growing and harvesting plants, and the timing when the composition is treated is not particularly limited.

[0032] The composition may be a diluted product of the fermentation broth at an appropriate concentration. The solvent for dilution may be water, but is not limited thereto, and the fermentation broth can be diluted with water at 1,000 to 5,000 times the volume, 1,000 to 3,000 times the volume, 2,000 to 3,000 times the volume, or 1,500 to 3,000 times the volume.

[0033] The seaweed fermentation broth can be used for fertilization by directly perfusion into plants or directly applying it to leaves. For example, depending on the plants, it can be diluted or fertilized in the form shown in Table 1 below, but is not limited thereto.

The fermentation broth is a brown or dark brown liquid with a unique fragrance and no off-odor or strange smell. 4) Filtration: Pass the fermented fermentation broth through a filtration filter for filtration. 5) Sterilization: Perform a sterilization treatment at 60°C or higher for 24 hours. 6) Packaging: After sterilization, package in units of 80 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L, 10 L, and 20 L. The packaging material is PET. 7) Shipping and storage: Ship the product. Store it at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.

[0044] 2. Increase in the yield of plants treated with the seaweed fermentation broth The seaweed fermentation broth obtained in Example 1 was diluted 1,000-fold or 2,000-fold and used to treat potatoes. Some of the potatoes in a potato field in Wolchon-ri 961, Cheju City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea were treated with the diluted solution by foliar fertilization three times at 10-day intervals between May 8, 2021 and June 14, 2021. Subsequently, the potatoes were harvested at the end of June 2021, and the yields of the diluted solution-treated group and the non-treated group were compared. As a result, it was confirmed that the yield of the diluted solution-treated group increased by 15 - 25% compared to the non-treated group (Figure 3).

[0045] 3. Increase in the sugar content of plants treated with the seaweed fermentation broth The seaweed fermentation broth obtained in Example 1 was diluted 2,000-fold and used to treat oranges. Some of the oranges in an orange grove in Soguan-ri 1768, Seogwipo City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea were treated with the diluted solution by foliar fertilization twice, once in October 2021 and once in November 2021. Subsequently, the oranges were harvested in January 2022, and the sugar contents of the diluted solution-treated group and the non-treated group were compared. As a result, it was confirmed that the sugar content of the diluted solution-treated group increased by approximately 35% compared to the non-treated group (Figure 5).
